Players are required to DIscord for verbal communication exclusively during all Operations.

Each player is to be in their respective or designated channel and on the correct team during the entirety of each Operation.

Any attempt to access the opposing Army’s Discord Channel or personnel during an Operation in any capacity is an act of disloyalty and a bannable offense.

Any form of abusive or harassing communication between members of the 21CW in any capacity including but is not limited to Discord, & Battlefield Operations Server(s) is not tolerated and will result in corrective action.

It is always at the Administrators discretion to determine what is categorized as abusive, harassing, or malicious content or material.

This timeline can be determined by each Faction’s General or highest ranking High Commanding Officer.

All content that should produced or otherwise created by any member of 21CW shall be without malicious, abusive, or harassing content or material.

It is always at the Administrators discretion to determine what is categorized as abusive, harassing, or malicious content or material.

3. Campaigns & Operations

Lock & Load: Five (5) minutes before start of Operational Day

There is to be no player outside of their main base under any circumstances, violation results in a kick for 1 hour, proceeding to the entire day.

Aircraft are no exception to this rule.

Admins are no exception to this rule.

This time-frame is allotted for important issue resolution and or concerns/comment/questions about the operation. Communication should be clear throughout all rank for flow of information from your Admin or BFCO.

An Admin will advise each faction of “Live on Restart” through voice channels and an all chat of “Live Live Live” to start the Operation. This is the only means by which a round can be initiated.

If an Admin pauses or restarts a round at anytime during the battle a new Lock & Load clock will be started and we will resume by the Lock & Load rules. All players MUST cease fire immediately upon receiving this order.

Commanding & BFCO

A High Commanding Officer from each Faction will represent and control each Faction during their time as the BFCO.

BFCO is no limited to the highest ranking HCO and is not required to remain as BFCO during the entire Operation.

BFCO does not outrank any other member of the HCO or Admin staff.

Matches will be played regardless of the BFCO being disconnected. In such an event another HCO will immediately assume the BFCO position.

Operation

Prior to and coinciding with Lock & Load is a fifteen (15) minute attendance and preparation check for each Operational Day.

4. Player Responsibility
